Hi, personaly, I have used a plataform that also allows play with fake money and after that I invested a small amount of real money to see what would happen.

With the fake money I was also able to double what I started with in a couple of days.

But with the real cash I did not. But I think that the reason for this was that the small amount of money I had didnt provide a lot of margin for losses, so a small loss would be enougth to run me out of business. While with the fake money I would make micro transactions, buying and selling in minutes and if I failed I had a lot of backup.

So, If I come back to forex I will with a higher amount of money and invest small amount at a time.
